Union Berlin Before DFB Cup challenge: Bielefeld in sight!

In a gripping DFB Cup duel, the Bundesliga club Union Berlin meets third division club Arminia Bielefeld! The Berliners are clearly favored and want to crown their impressive October by moving into the round of 16. On Wednesday at 8:45 p.m., the Köpenickers are about demonstrating their strong shape in the cup.

Union Berlin is currently in an impressive fourth place in the Bundesliga and has established itself as a serious competitor in the past few weeks. However, coach Bo Svensson plans to change his starting eleven to five positions in order to control the stress of the players. Among the change is the last strong Tom Rothe, which is replaced by Robert Skov. Janik Haberer, Andras Schäfer, Laszlo Benes and Jordan Siebatcheu are also in the initial formation, while Christopher Trimmel, Aljoscha Kemlein, Wooeong Jong and Benedict Hollerbach have to take a seat.

The lists of the teams

Here are the lists for the excited game:

• Union Berlin: Rönnow - Haberer, Doekhi, Vogt, Leit, Skov - Schäfer, Khedira - Cover, Benes - Jordan
• Arminia Bielefeld: Kersken - Lannert, Großer, Schneider, Oppie - Russo - Schreck, Corboz, Wörl, Kunze - Kania

But the game is not the only thing that concerns Berliners. Just three days after the cup game, the next big duel against FC Bayern Munich is already pending. The tension in the air is tangible and the fans can look forward to an exciting football festival!
